It was surrounded on all sides, except the north, by deep valleys, that of the Tyropoeon ( q. v.) separating it from Moriah ( q. v.), which it surpasses in height by 105 feet. It was the south- eastern hill of Jerusalem. When David took it from the Jebusites ( Josh. 15: 63; 2 Sam. 5: 7) he built on it a citadel and a palace, and it became " the city of David" ( 1 Kings 8: 1; 2 Kings 19: 21, 31; 1 Chr. 11: 5). In the later books of the Old Testament this name was sometimes used ( Ps. 87: 2; 149: 2; Isa. 33: 14; Joel 2: 1) to denote Jerusalem in general, and sometimes God' s chosen Israel ( Ps. 51: 18; 87: 5). In the New Testament ( see { SION}) it is used sometimes to denote the Church of God ( Heb. 12: 22), and sometimes the heavenly city ( Rev. 14: 1). Zion, monument; raised up; sepulcherZion, OK -- U.
